With a population density of 150 people per square kilometre it is hard to really get away from it all in China. We've found a glorious spot in Hebei. So good we are going to boldly claim it has some of the best gravel experiences in China. Long continuous gravel roads, mountains, tunnels, rivers and not one tourist. Infact in our scouting over two days we encountered the highest ever animal to human ratio ever recorded in China. Humans : 4 (not including us). Sheep over 100. Cows at least 20. Badger looking critters 3. This is the gravel heaven you've been searching for in China and its only a 3.5 hour drive from Beijing.
